What are fining ponds? Finishing ponds are sewage ponds, which serve the further purification of biologically purified wastewater before further introduction. The description sounds more unpleasant than it is, because the fining ponds form sometimes impressive wetlands, as here in Gevelsberg. The ponds have a total volume of about 65,000 m³ and a surface of almost 3 hectares, so the Ruhrverband reveals.

By the way:
The road that runs south of these fining ponds is not called "Am Hammerteich" for nothing.
A detailed and interesting history of the area of today's fining ponds, as well as an equally interesting description of the role of the fining ponds on Rocholz as a biotope for birds and animals, can be found at heimatverein-gevelsberg.de/themenseiten/die-schoenungsteiche-am -rocholz-2 /
